I wonder what higher ups decided this

Game 8: Kentucky
History with LSU
These teams played every year from 1952 to 2002 but just three times since, an infrequency that will continue under the SEC’s permanent opponent schedule format. LSU has won five of the past six, including a 35-7 rout in 2011.

There are 8 SEC games a year. Of those 8, 6 will be intra-division games. Of the 2 remaining conf. games, 1 will be against a permanent inter-division opponent. That leaves 1 rotating inter-division game. Thus, LSU will play UK just as infrequently as they will play UGA, USC, Mizzou, Tenn. and Vandy. It's the way the schedule is set up. It has nothing to to with "politics".
I'm tired of listening to LSU fans piss an moan about Bama getting to play Tenn., while LSU has to play UF. Over the history of the SEC, Tenn has been the second best program. Bama has caught a "break" when it comes to playing Tenn. every year not because the SEC office is located in Birmingham, but because Tenn. has completely fallen apart as a program since 2008 while Bama has rebounded since that time.
The reality is that if Tenn. was the perennial power that it was prior to 2008, you would not hear one complaint about the Bama/Tenn. game. I hate Alabama, but blame Tenn. for not keeping up their end of the bargain.

SEC needs to go to 9 conference games.

You will have to ask the Bama league office. Write them a letter

Here's a serious question...when did the permanent opponent's scheduling format start? It thought it was after the USC/Arkansas expansion and creation of the divisions.
Why did LSU play UK from the early 90s until 2002?
Did the previous (Pre A&M/Mizzou) schedule only begin in 2003?

It was.
I believe at the time there were 2 permanent opponents and 1 rotating. LSU permanent opponents were Florida and Kentucky, after the 2002 season the SEC decided to have 2 rotating opponents and 1 permanent opponent.

From 1992-2002 every team had 2 permanent opponents. Ours were Florida and Kentucky.

So are you saying you would like Kentucky as a permanent opponent again?
No Thanks!
No Thanks!

That makes sense. So basically from, what 92 to 2002 it was similar to how it was now in that we very rarely saw the likes of USC, UGA, UT, Vandy.
That's the biggest issue IMO with schedule is that preservation of Florida comes at the expense of USC, UGA, and UT most notably.

It will stay that way until Tennessee becomes a powerhouse again.

LSU plays really poorly in Lexington. It's probably a blessing.

It's not that tenn sucks right now, it is that while we play UF, UGA, SC, Bama gets vandy,KY,UT
